This is by far the WORST school in the state of Texas. ALL of the staff is rude. The homework is copied off the internet and the teacher's don't even grade it right. The teacher's yell at the kid's and don't listen to them. They are academically unacceptable and have been for years. I do not recommend this school at all!!!

This is one of the worst schools I have ever known of.... The administrators do not know about education, teachers look tired and burned out and students are ot of control.

I believe that this school is working very hard to get up with the rest of them. One of the things that hurts them in their progress is the lack of parent envolvement. A few things that they need to improve on is they need a few more extra curricular activities: a few more clubs, plays and maybe more sports. Keep up the great work in trying your hardest to improve. :)

This school is a poor excuse for a school, they run out of food for the children, they turn off the AC in the heat of summer, oh and they don't allow the kid's to go to the bathrooms because they are supposedly broken... and this is every year.
